From:JIB or Dkk 8lwkoum To.Orange Courrty Commisionars nun:aa rage e or� ; ,may Yaa,ix76 Lu t7 e <br /> 15 <br /> TO: Orange County Commissioners <br /> DATE: May 25,1995 <br /> FROM: Jill Blackburn <br /> 405 Lyons Road <br /> Chapel Hill,Nc 27514-7632 <br /> RE:TONIGHT'S MEETING <br /> Unfortunately I will not be able to attend tonight's meeting. However,I would like to take this <br /> opportunity to relay my feelings about the proposed increase of the impact fees. <br /> Our public school system is in a crisis. As has been discussed many times over the last year by <br /> teachers,taxpayers and school children we'need to desperately get our schools on track Orange <br /> County,the flag ship county of our state should have schools with adequate space for foreign <br /> languages,art and music rooms and adequate daily teaching space.We do not have this at the present <br /> and our children are being taught in"make-do"facilities. <br /> Please help to solve this problem One solution is to increase the impact fees. Of course,this will <br /> not fund the complete cost for building new schools but it WILL help.The slight increase will not <br /> impact the price of new homes to the extent of affordability problems. <br /> Please vote yes for the increase in impact fees. <br />
